This tray comprises a bottom a and sides I The sides b are inclined downwardly from their upper edges and extend to only about midway in the length of the bottom of the tray, or, in other words, they stop short of the rear end of the tray. Across the top of the tray and at the front end there will preferably extend a crossstrip a, as more clearly shown in dotted line in Fig. 1.-

The operation of the box is more clearly shown in Fig. 3, the tray being drawn out sufficiently far or to a point at or near the point of junction between llhe sides and the bottom of the tray. The tray may be tipped downwardly, so that the end of the bottom a wilLeontact with the upper side of the ease A, thus retaining the tray in position. While being wholly removed. I have shown knobs d upon the from of the tray, y which the latter may be ren1oved.-
